What this bill would do

The Protect Older Job Applicants Act of 2025 aims to amend the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. It seeks to prohibit employers from limiting, segregating, or classifying applicants for employment. The bill expands existing protections to include people in the job application process. Additionally, it requires the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to conduct a specific study. This study will look at claims filed since 2015 to see how job applicants were impacted by age discrimination.
